Track

Yes, I'm unoriginal. I am going to talk about track today. Usain Bolt is a beast. He has the World records in 100m, 150m, and 200m. In 100m and 200m, he also has the 2nd best time. He also has the World record for the fastest time over 100m (which he got in the last 100m of the 150m race), which was 8.7 seconds, which averages out to 41.4km/h, which is ridiculously fast to run. Apperently he might try to do the 400m and the Long Jump, which will be interesting.

Santa Barbara

I leave for Santa Barbara in only 6 days. I cant wait. We go on the 19th, then we are there until the 27th. On the 26th, we are gonna participate in the Easter Relays, which is a yearly track competition they do down there. I was just looking at the qualification marks, and they are really hard. For discus, its like 24 meters, and for high jump its like 157cm. My personal best that I know of is around 135cm (though that was really easy). And yeah. Thats pretty much it. Ok. Byes now.

Reach

As im sure almost all readers know by now, we got 3rd in reach for the top. I'll bring the medal on monday to prove im not lying. We ranked 4th after the 5 game round robin, then we played McRoberts in the round of 16 and won by quite a bit, then we played Southridge in the quarters, who we beat, then we played Saints in the semis, and we were leading by one going into the last round, then we fell apart, so we lost by 10. Whatever. Then we played Vancouver College in the consolation round, and won by a bit. I think we could have been 2nd, if we had been in the other round, because then we would have played burnaby north, or Vancouver College in the semis, and prob would have been able to beat them. Aarg. I think we can improve our result next year. We will have a really strong grade 10 core, and according to saints, all their good players are in grade 10 this year, and they have like no younger kids, so hopefully we will be able to at least make the finals next year. There was a ridiculous amount of repeats though. There was one 8 question assigned section which was exactly repeated between the first and third round. The awesome thing was that we were playing Crofton House, and they are terrible, so we got like 7 out of the 8. I have been ranting for a while now, so i gtg. Cya.

Baseball Assessments

Baseball assessments were yesterday. I didnt do that well, but I dont really care, actually, the worse I do, the better, because its an assessment, so its not like you are trying to make teams, but its so that the coaches can see how good you are, so that they can evenly spread the teams. So if you are evaluated as being bad, you will end up on a better team, because you will "drag them down". One time was hilarious though, I was doing an infield drill, and I fielded a grounder, and came up with a hard throw that sailed over the fence, and bounced halfway across the street. Hilarious.

Science fair next year.

I need to start writing down science fair ideas for next year. I always come up with cool ideas just after it. I currently have an idea of one, involving baseball stats. Hell, if im interested in it, I may as well. If i consider it further, and think its a good idea, i will look into it, and even if my teacher denies it, I can just do it for grade 11 or 12. Yeah. Interesting stuff.
